Rain Design mTower

Aluminum MacBook stands aren’t uncommon these days, but most of them look pretty similar to one another. Rain Design took the basic concept and elevated it—literally. Attractively designed, the mTower ($50) holds your laptop a few inches off the ground, and frees up desk space by aligning the computer vertically.

The stand is made of a single piece of aluminum, from its base to the floating holder attached by a bent arm. Four different adapters are included to secure various different sizes of MacBook, from the 11” Air to the 17” Pro. Rain Design claims that not only does mTower allow your computer to take up less space, but it increases airflow as well, should you need it.
